Hacking the system, following a vision going against the grain and persistence in the face of overwhelming obstacles. Maybe this guy should apply for YC.

  "Hacking the system" now means being funded by the system? It used to mean something else when I was a kid...

    That would be the apotheosis of hacking the system.
    • TelmoMenezes 7y ago
      Well, not really if you are just doing what the system wants.

  The weakest point of his YC application is that he’s in a vertical where there are no laws to break. Ideally he’d actually be doing something illegal to limit ethical competitors.

    Am I naive? Are anti-competitive abuses really that common in YC?

      What do you think Junior? You think these hands - they've been soaking in Ivory Liquid?
